Research In Motion Ltd. unveiled two new BlackBerry phones on Wednesday crucial to the company’s turnaround, but the first of the those devices won’t be available in the crucial U.S. market until mid-March.

In an interview ahead of a BlackBerry 10 launch event in New York, RIM Chief Executive Thorsten Heins said the first of two phones — a touch-screen-only device called the Z10 — will be available in the U.K. and Canada later this week.
